Mental training for competitors
Better in practice than in competition?
That gap is trainable. Tell Aomi, your AI mental coach, about the moment you tighten up. Then rehearse it for a few minutes a day, before you’re in it.

Your body is trained. Is your head?
The night before.
Your head runs the whole race in bed.
On the line.
Same swing as the range, a different player on the first tee.
After the mistake.
One bad hole becomes five.
Athlete Mindset trains the moments that break in competition.

A few minutes a day, before the moment that counts.

2Get a starting plan built from your answers.
Short rehearsals each day, chosen for what you told us.
3Rehearse it in a few minutes.
Headphones in, eyes closed if you can.
Meet Aomi
A coach you can talk to the night before.
Talk out loud or type. Aomi asks about the moment, suggests a short session that fits the minutes you have, and remembers what helped, only if you let it.
- Talk or chat, whichever suits the moment.
- You control memory: turn it off or delete it.
Aomi is AI and can make mistakes. It isn’t a therapist or an emergency service.

Why it exists
Built by an athlete who knows the gap.
Sondre Guttormsen reached his first Olympic Games with the physical level to compete, and an injury ended it before it became the performance he had imagined. Three years later he was back in an Olympic final in Paris. Along the way he studied psychology at Princeton, asking one question: how do athletes perform freely when the result matters? Athlete Mindset is built around that question.

Questions
Who is it for?
Athletes who are better in practice than in competition: runners, triathletes, golfers, tennis players, track athletes, swimmers and more, from club level to elite. If nerves, overthinking or one mistake tend to change how you compete, it is built for you.
Do I need to be good at visualization?
No. Lessons are short and guided, and they start simple: you listen and picture one moment at a time. It gets easier with reps, like any skill.
